How We Control
The method of application and types of herbicides (selective and non-selective) used is determined by the terrain, its use, type of weeds and the time of year.
The methods and practices we use comply with relevant Government Departmental Authorities and other related governing bodies.
High Volume Application, this method is suited to all areas, including sensitive areas where weed infestation is medium to heavy. The area is treated using 4WD vehicle Quickspray unit with attached long hoses (200m) with spray guns.
Low Volume -Boom Spraying. This method is best suited to pastures and open areas where weeds are heavily infested and are medium height. The entire area is treated using 4 WD vehicle / quad bike with a boom spray that has variable heights and is fixed to the vehicle.
Low Volume – Knapsack SprayingThis method is best suited to sensitive areas like native bush land and water frontage areas where it is difficult to access. Targeting weeds that have 1 – 2 years growth and weed coverage is light.
Weed Wiper – ApplicationThis method is best suited to paddocks for selective control of hard to mange weeds. It wipes herbicide across weeds sitting high in a paddock, treating weeds but leaving pasture untouched. It is most effective if the paddock has been grazed prior to application. Work can be carried out on windy days as there is no spray drift with this type of application.
Cut & Paint / Drill & Fill. This method is best suited to all areas where woody weeds are present especially in native bush land and sensitive water frontage areas where access is difficult. Woody weeds are cut and painted with herbicide or drilled and filled with herbicide.
